If you tend to have too much rotation in your swing, pitching can help. Practice small shots where the club does not need to open or close from forearm rotation. Your path will come from in to out, but the clubface does not turn down. This will help you feel your right hand function properly and then your left hand will ride along with it.
Many people naturally open the face too much. If you are pulling, the clubface will be too far open at impact. People also tend to be internally rotated, changing the angle of your hands. Once you correct your grip, you will hit the ball reliably and simply.
Joe Nichols gave suggestions on what would get the club to work properly. To avoid the club getting behind you on the backswing or moving too far forward on the downswing, he suggests following the figure eight pattern. Keep the ball in the center and you will effortlessly steer the club.
Now that you know how to push away, make it stand out in your swing.
